DETACHABLE Barn' lnous.' BELT Application mednny e, 1932; 'serial no. 621,028. v

Lcords are usually passed freely through loopsl attached to the garment and by which they are supported; the belts beingotherwise un-y fastened, with respect to the garment, slide easily in the loops, presenting their loose ends at uneven lengths, and frequently are inadvertently drawn out of the loops to become entirely separated from the robe.

Itis therefore. an object of the invention to provide a belt so arranged wit-h'reference to the support loops as to be retained at all times in position to present ends ofsubstanti ally uniform length for tying.

A further feature is in the provision of means for connecting the belt to the garment by passing through loops attached to the robe and. which act (zo-operatively with elements on the belt to permit such adjustment of the belt as may be desirable, but prevent actual separation of the parts under normal circumstances. it being possible however to withdraw the belt completely out of the loops by disengagement of the retaining elements at will.

Another aim is to provide a belt with outer loops having stili'ening inserts to retain their shape, and inner narrower loops which per-l mit the belt to move limitedly up and down therein, thereby providing` for waist vheight adjustment of the belt.

These advantageous" objects areaccomplished by the novel construction and arrangement of partsjas hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, forming an essential part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of a belt and robe made in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of they belt and support loops.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary plan view of the belt as connected to one of the support loops. j

Figure 4 is a perspective view vof aI frag -ment vof thebeltand its-disengageable strap.

Figure 5- isV a transverse sectional view taken through the robe, belt, strap and inner and outer loops, the view being taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 3.

In Figure 1 is shown a view of a person wearing a conventional type of bath robe rovided with a belt held to the garment l() y loops 11 fastened to the sides of the gar` ment, the belt 13 beingof a width very considerably less than the space between the ends of the loop so as to move freely up and down' therein to suit the waist line of the wearer. f

A second, shorter and much narrower loop 12 is secured to the vgarment directly under the main outer loop, it being imperceptible from the outside of the garment.

Passing freely through the inner loop 12 is a strap 14 sewedor otherwise attached to the inner side of the belt, as at-15, and provided with means, as the button 16 to be engaged or released at will. j

Obviously a button, snap fastener or other equivalent securing means may be used. j

As will be noted the strap 14 is narrow relative to the belt 11 and freely movable under the inner loop 172, permitting ready adjustso ment longitudinally and vertically.

' It is understood that neither the inner loop, straps or securing means appear to an obj 1 server` and that the lengths ofthe straps control the 'amount of longitudinal kmovement that can be imparted to the belt. f

As it has been found from experience that the outer loop, if made of textile fabric, is laX, yielding and does notretain itself with desirable rigidity, there is incorporated within its folds a stidener 17, such for instance as a strip of Celluloid, whereby it is maintained in normal shape, wet or dry.

Although the foregoing is descriptive of the preferred embodiment of the invention, n

it will be apparent that minor changes may be madev in its construction, without the exercise of invention or conflicting with the scope of the claim hereto appended.

yHaving thus described the invention, what is claigxndas new and desired to secure by Y belt suited to slide freely both longitudinally and vertically in said outer loops, straps permanently secured at one of their ends to the inner side of said belt to slidein saidy in- Aner loops, said straps being narrower than said belt, and detachablemeans to secure the other end of each of said straps to the inner sidIe of said belt. h =f I n testimoni w ereo a "xm signature.
